A California teacher recently found herself in hot water after a video surfaced showing her controversial approach to a school mock election, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.

In the clip, a parent confronts the teacher for reportedly offering a pizza party reward only to students who voted for Kamala Harris, while denying it to those who picked Donald Trump. The video, which has since gone viral, was posted by the LibsofTikTok account, a popular source for exposing what it sees as left-leaning bias in schools.

The footage opens with a mother discussing a California mock election ballot with her daughter, who explains that students who “voted” for Harris in the school activity would receive beauty products and a pizza party, while those who chose Trump would be left out.

Watch:

According to the parent’s interaction, the classroom wasn’t just about politics on paper but also came with a notable reward for students who aligned with the teacher’s chosen candidate.

In the video, the teacher is heard defending the decision, stating that “Democrats are more for feeding the hungry” and suggesting that’s why she was willing to buy pizza for the students who picked Harris.

She justified her stance further, noting that Democrats supposedly prioritize free medical care and social services, implying that only students who “paid their dues” in voting for Harris would benefit.

In contrast, the teacher maintained that students voting for Trump would need to go without, as “they just do what the conservatives do — which is pay for yourself.”

The confrontation took an interesting turn when the mother offered to pay for pizza for her child’s class, effectively calling the teacher’s bluff.

A staffer working for the campaigns of two Ohio Democrats, Senator Sherrod Brown, and Congresswoman Emilia Sykes, was recorded making controversial remarks on immigration, sparking backlash from Republicans and conservative groups.

In a video first reported by Ohio.news, the staffer, identified as Kevin Oyakawa, called for open borders and referred to those advocating for stricter immigration policies as “racist.”

“Open the f—ing border, I don’t give a s— who comes in here,” Oyakawa reportedly stated in a conversation with a volunteer earlier this month.

He went on to argue that discussing immigration reform is a “losing issue” for Democrats in Ohio solely due to “people’s pure racism.”

Watch: 

According to Oyakawa’s since-deleted LinkedIn profile, he was serving as a regional organizing director with the Ohio Democratic Party, supporting Brown’s and Sykes’ campaigns in Summit and Stark counties.

With just days until Election Day, a recent Media Research Center (MRC) analysis reveals that the 2024 presidential race coverage from mainstream media has skewed more dramatically than ever.

Major networks—ABC, CBS, and NBC—have showered Vice President Kamala Harris with 78% positive coverage, while former President Donald Trump faced a staggering 85% negative coverage since July, as reported by News Busters.

The data shows a stark divide, greater even than in 2016 when both Trump and Hillary Clinton experienced mostly negative reporting, and bigger than in 2020, when then-candidate Joe Biden saw 66% positive coverage compared to Trump’s 92% negative press.

From July through October, Trump was subjected to over 230 minutes of airtime filled with personal scandals, while Harris received notably lighter treatment.

MRC analyzed 660 campaign stories aired across these networks since President Biden stepped down on July 21, finding Harris received positive “vibes” largely shaped by enthusiastic voter quotes, while Trump faced near-uniform criticism directly from network reporters.

Although Harris initially received around 350 minutes of coverage, since mid-September, Trump has faced nearly double the airtime—398 minutes for him compared to 230 minutes for Harris—heavily negative.

When it comes to Trump, the networks dedicated 230 minutes to personal controversies, including Trump’s January 6 claims and his critiques of the Biden administration.

Coverage of Trump remained 97-100% negative on topics ranging from hurricane responses to comments about immigration, often casting him as a “danger to democracy” while Harris’s controversies saw little attention.

On policies, coverage was more evenly negative for both candidates. Trump’s policies received 63% negative coverage compared to Harris’s 54%.

As for social issues, abortion and reproductive rights were covered favorably for Harris, with 73% positive coverage, while Trump’s stance saw a resounding 92% negative slant.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) has expressed concerns over the Trump campaign’s decision not to engage in presidential transition agreements with the federal government ahead of the 2024 election.

In a letter addressed to former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), Raskin criticized the campaign’s refusal to commit to the transition process, which he says could have negative implications for the peaceful transfer of power.

Raskin, who serves as the top Democrat on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, warned in his letter that rejecting these agreements breaks with precedent.

He wrote, “Breaking the precedent set by every other presidential candidate since 2010, you have rejected these resources and refused to commit to a smooth transition.” He further accused Trump of demonstrating “a spectacular disregard for the successful continuation of the essential institutions of American democratic government.”

Raskin’s letter raises questions about the potential impact on the transition of power, should Trump win the 2024 election. Transition agreements, established by the Presidential Transition Act, are intended to ensure the incoming administration is prepared to take over key responsibilities.

Some observers have noted that Raskin’s letter might reflect growing concerns within the Democratic Party about the prospects of a Trump victory.

While Raskin raises alarms, it’s clear that the Trump-Vance team is prioritizing their campaign strategy over administrative logistics at this point.

Doug Emhoff, the husband of Kamala Harris, finds himself in the spotlight again, as a former flame speaks out about a troubling incident that took place in 2012.

The anonymous woman, identified only as “Jane,” claims that Emhoff slapped her so hard during a celebrity event in France that she spun around in shock. Despite Emhoff’s denial of the accusations, “Jane” is not staying silent any longer.

Watching him play this role in the media, she says, has been “utterly shocking” given what she experienced. Jane shared her story with the Daily Mail, recounting how the slap came out of nowhere, with no argument or confrontation beforehand.

The incident happened as they were trying to hail a taxi late at night after an event. Jane says she retaliated, slapping him back, but the damage was already done, both physically and emotionally.

This isn’t the only allegation casting a shadow over Emhoff. Earlier reports surfaced of an affair he had with his daughter’s nanny while still married to his first wife.

According to Jane, Emhoff openly admitted the affair and its messy aftermath during their brief relationship, even revealing that his mistress accused him of causing her to miscarry their child.

Jane mentioned that Emhoff told her he reached a settlement with Naylor for around $80,000 and had her sign a non-disclosure agreement.

Records from the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), obtained by DailyMail.com through the California Public Records Act, confirm that officers were dispatched to Naylor’s residence on June 28, 2009, at 8:14 p.m., around the time she was allegedly pregnant.

A bar complaint has been filed against former Congresswoman Liz Cheney by attorney Stefan Passantino, who previously represented Cassidy Hutchinson, a key witness in the January 6 investigation.

The complaint, filed with the D.C. Bar, accuses Cheney of unethical communication with Hutchinson without Passantino’s knowledge or approval during her preparation for further testimony before the Democrat-led January 6 Select Committee.

The complaint comes after a Just the News report revealed that Cheney, who served as vice chairwoman of the committee, allegedly communicated with Hutchinson via the Signal messaging app without informing Passantino.

Passantino has stated that he was unaware of the communications at the time and had not authorized them.

He is now calling for the bar to conduct an ethics investigation into Cheney’s actions.

These private communications were uncovered during an investigation by Republican Rep. Barry Loudermilk’s House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight.

This subcommittee is conducting a broader investigation into the security failures surrounding the events of January 6 and the subsequent partisan investigation led by the committee.

Congress is ramping up its investigation into potential foreign interference in Democratic fundraising efforts, particularly focusing on the ActBlue platform.

Recent bombshell letters from lawmakers Bryan Steil and Ron Johnson to the Biden administration demand access to key financial records and intelligence briefings, as reported by Just The News.

The inquiry centers on whether foreign adversaries like Iran, China, Russia, and Venezuela have been funneling money into U.S. elections, potentially manipulating online donations to Democratic campaigns.

The investigation, spearheaded by the House Administration Committee and the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, highlights concerns that foreign actors may be using straw donations through ActBlue without U.S. donors’ knowledge.

These suspicious donations, often linked to small-dollar contributions, have prompted fears that illegal money laundering and credit card fraud could be in play. This practice, known as “smurfing,” is a sneaky way to bypass campaign finance regulations, making it difficult to detect foreign interference.

In a recent letter, Steil and Johnson specifically requested access to Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) filed by financial institutions, which could provide evidence of money laundering tied to ActBlue.

These reports are essential for tracking large sums of money and red-flagging suspicious transactions. Federal law requires banks to file SARs within 30 days of detecting potential illegal activity.

The scope of the investigation is widening. Steil’s committee has already referred findings to attorneys general in 19 states after an analysis raised concerns about small donations far exceeding the financial means of certain low-income donors.

This red flag suggests that some U.S. citizens may unknowingly be used as conduits for foreign donations.

Adding fuel to the fire, a recent lawsuit filed in Wisconsin by Republican consultant Mark Block claims his identity was used to make unauthorized donations via ActBlue. Block’s case could provide key evidence of an organized fraud scheme, raising alarms about the integrity of political fundraising.

Elon Musk has emerged as a significant financial supporter of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, contributing $75 million to his pro-Trump super PAC in just the past three months.

This infusion of cash positions Musk, the world’s richest man, as a pivotal player in the upcoming election, as he aims to generate a “red wave” in key swing states that could help propel Trump back to the White House.

Recent disclosures filed with the Federal Election Commission reveal that the PAC spent approximately $75 million during the July-September period, making it the leading pro-Trump super PAC dedicated to voter turnout. Notably, Musk was the sole donor to America PAC, granting him considerable influence in the election landscape.
